Karl Scott

[TeamoftheCentury]

This is one guy I wish we could keep. Maybe a promotion within the Defensive coaching staff ranks. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/...-to-hire-karl-scott-as-defensive-backs-coach/

Karl Scott is being retained. We just stole him back from the Eagles.

Wonder if they cut Hurtt now cause he promised he would come with him

Can't imagine they would. Hurtt is a Fangio disciple and a good DL coach. I'm sure Fangio wanted him on his own merit.

Still as a DC our Dline wasn't the best

Because Hurtt was spread too thin? Kind of hard to manage one department while you are also in charge of the entire defense.

That's the first time "Hurtt" and "thin" were ever used in the same sentence.

Thought about that when I typed it. Could have gone lots of ways with it!

Did he turn out a great defensive line when he was D-line coach the first time with Seattle?

He turned out a few lines that were probably greater than the sum of their parts, honestly

Wasn't there guy in our community that was just posting about retaining coach Scott? Glad he will be back.

While they're at it, maybe now Senior Defensive Assistant can secure Roy Anderson back with us as well.

Also, Hurtt is an excellent DL coach. I loved and still love Pete, but did he interfere with the Defense too much for Hurtt?

That's probably a cheap observation. I don't think the 3rd down lack of defense was Hurtt's fault, but still better suited as a positional coach.

Was he? Our defensive line has struggled for quite awhile.

Well, perhaps excellent is being a smidge kind, but better suited, yeah.
